hey Joe I see you are from MI. I spent the first 37 years of my life there. I got tired of the winters and made the decision to move to Florida 13 years ago. Love the winters here but the summers HOT!!!!!

Thanks for reading it Joe. I will never make that mistake again. That's not to say I won't ever lose on a deal again; but I can promise you I will never be rushed into a deal again.

Hi everyone,
I would like to share a story of success and failure. The first flip I ever did I made $65,000 and was riding high. I was on top of the world. That's when it all fell apart.
I listened the realtor that had sold my house. He showed me a rehab and pressured me Into believing that I had to pay full price because this house was a hot buy and would not be on the market long at all.
so I paid $120,000 for the house. a nightmare when I started the rehab. I ended up putting $80,000 into the house thinking I could get $220-$230 for it. Then 9/11 happened and the house stayed on the market for a year. Finally sold the house for $175,000. Lost everything.
My lesson learned. The profit for your rehab is in the buy. Not the sale. I should have never paid more than $70,000 for that house. Thus was a tough pill to swallow but it was a lesson learned. I hope I have helped someone on this site

Hi everyone,
This is a crazy question but does anyone know why I can't access my dashboard or inbox from my I-phone. Every time I hit the app it takes me to forums and different RE groups.
Thanks,
Jon Trojan

Where at in Michigan do you live? I lived the first 37 years of my life there. I have spent the last 13 here in Florida. I can direct you in the right areas to invest. I still have real estate friends living there. Let me know if I can help

So you live near Livingston county. Any of the surrounding areas you really can't go wrong. If you can find a deal in Brighton, Milford or Howell your doing well.
